Pele has been treated in a hospital for "severe exhaustion" after collapsing in his native Brazil.
According to Reuters (h/t the Daily Mail), the Football Writers' Association broke the news in a statement:
"In the early hours of Thursday morning, Pele collapsed and was taken to hospital in Brazil where he has undergone a series of tests which appear to point to severe exhaustion.
"He remains on fluids while doctors monitor his recovery. Thankfully, there is no suggestion of anything more serious than exhaustion."
The FWA was to hold a dinner in the football legend's honour on Sunday at the Savoy hotel in London, but his visit to the English capital has now been cancelled.
